Idle thoughts/ What is a Supercar??

NWYENKO,
Great Question. I have always wondered about the same question. I think that the most of the group here is primarily interested in Chevrolet COPO and dealer prepared cars from 1967-1972. There are members that have different interests in the group, like Yenko Corvairs, Motion Vettes, and cars like the Yenko Turbo Z, Yenko Vegas and the later Motion cars (I by the way like them ALL!). I have always wondered if people are interested when I bring up topics on Z-11 Impalas, special order Z-28s, L-79 cars (Chevelles and Novas) and really ground breaking cars like the '65 Chevelle SS Z-16. Bill Jenkins' '66 L-79 Nova (a non-SS car by the way) was a really intersting car, that was probably special ordered through Ammon R. Smith Auto Car Company (Chevrolet) York,Pa.. Why wouldn't that car be considered a Supercar when a '69 COPO Camaro would? The HP to weight ratio on the L-79 cars were comparable to the L-72 cars. My definition of a Supercar is a Chevrolet that was avail from the factory or dealer for special ultra high performance use avail in limited quantity.
